![]() ![]() The cutting wheel, quite like the wheel on a glass cutter, is mounted on a lever mechanism that allows considerable leverage to be applied. The tile is positioned on the padded platform, with one side flush to a fence at the head to hold the workpiece square. Tile CutterĪlso known as a snap cutter, this tool for tiling with glazed tiles consists of a platform topped by a frame along which a cutter wheel slides. With these tools readily available, tiling is no longer solely the domain of the tilers’ guild. ![]() You’ll also need a few other familiar tools, like a tape measure, chalk box, framing square, and a basic carpenter’s level. Tiling products also include a notched trowel used to apply the adhesive or mortar on the tile backing board for affixing the tile and a grout float for spreading the mortar that fills the joints between the tiles. And the nipper, a cutting tool with jaws, handles, and a pivot, resembles a pair of pliers but allows picking and nipping little bits of tile from a curve or compound cut. The wet saw makes quick work of cutting large, hard tiles. You don’t need a lot of complicated, expensive tools for your tiling project: There’s the tile cutter (it’s essentially a sophisticated version of a glass cutter) that scores and snaps tiles along straight lines. Their secret? Having the right set of tiling tools to get the job done. Increasingly, the installation is done by novices who want the look of tile but don’t want to pay master-tradesman fees to install it. Tile is now widely used not just in bathrooms but in kitchens, entryways, and other locations in the home and office where durable, water-resistant surfaces are required. Today, chains of retail stores sell only tile and tiling supplies, and most of their customers are homeowners. ![]()

![]() ![]() I mean, this was a guy who was seriously full of self-reproach. If I were John Quincy Adams (oft' referred to as JQA), much of this review would likely consist of chastising myself for not having the discipline or talent to write a better review. Nagel's great achievement, in this first biography of America's sixth president in a quarter century, is finally to portray Adams in all his talent and complexity. We come to see how much Adams disliked politics and hoped for more from life than high office how he sought distinction in literary and scientific endeavors, and drew his greatest pleasure from being a poet, critic, translator, essayist, botanist, and professor of oratory at Harvard how tension between the public and private Adams vexed his life and how his frustrations kept him masked and aloof (and unpopular). ![]() On the basis of a thorough study of Adams' seventy-year diary, among a host of other documents, the author gives us a richer account than we have yet had of JQA's life-his passionate marriage to Louisa Johnson, his personal tragedies (two sons lost to alcoholism), his brilliant diplomacy, his recurring depression, his exasperating behavior-and shows us why, in the end, only Abraham Lincoln's death evoked a greater outpouring of national sorrow in nineteenth-century America. representative (the only ex-president to serve in the House). senator, secretary of state, president of the United States (1825-1829), and, finally, U.S. Nagel probes deeply into the psyche of this cantankerous, misanthropic, erudite, hardworking son of a former president whose remarkable career spanned many minister to Holland, Russia, and England, U.S. It was the memory of an extraordinary human being-one who in his last years had fought heroically for the right of petition and against a war to expand slavery-that drew a grateful people to salute his coffin in the Capitol and to stand by the railroad tracks as his bier was transported from Washington to Boston. Nagel, "exceeded anything previously seen in America." Forgotten was his failed presidency and his often cold demeanor. The public mourning that followed, writes Paul C.

When equations are in MathML they can be read correctly by a screen reader such as Jaws, Read Aloud, and Voice Over. Creating equations using MathType, puts them into the accessible format MathML that can render directly in web browsers. See The MMLorHTML configuration options for instructions on how to do this.It is now possible, at no extra cost, to embed accessible math equations within Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel), Google Docs, Mac Office Software (Pages, Key Note), and D2L using MathType add-in. As a page author, you usually have a choice about the default rendering of your pages - either HTML-CSS or MathML, but accessible pages must have MathML set as the default for Internet Explorer. MathJax output always contains MathML regardless of the input, so feel free to write the equations in LaTeX if you prefer. Using MathML will ensure the math is accessible to assistive technology that can read and speak math. If you're using a web page editor such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver, be sure to paste into Code view rather than Design view. Paste the equation into your web page when you want it to appear. Click OK.Ĭreate the equation in MathType editing area, then select and copy it. In the Equation for application or website group, choose MathJax: MathML. In MathType Preferences menu, choose Cut and Copy Preferences (for Mac, this is in the Preferences fly-out in the MathType menu).

Many smaller cacti have globe-shaped stems, combining the highest possible volume for water storage with the lowest possible surface area for water loss from transpiration. Because transpiration takes place during the cooler, more humid night hours, water loss is significantly reduced. The plant stores the carbon dioxide it takes in as malic acid, retaining it until daylight returns, and only then using it in photosynthesis. Transpiration, during which carbon dioxide enters the plant and water escapes, does not take place during the day at the same time as photosynthesis, but instead occurs at night. Like other succulent plants, most cacti employ a special mechanism called " crassulacean acid metabolism" (CAM) as part of photosynthesis. ![]() This allows them to expand and contract easily for quick water absorption after rain, followed by retention over long drought periods. Cactus stems are often ribbed or fluted with a number of ribs which corresponds to a number in the Fibonacci numbers (2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 etc). Many cacti have short growing seasons and long dormancies and are able to react quickly to any rainfall, helped by an extensive but relatively shallow root system that quickly absorbs any water reaching the ground surface. As well as spines, areoles give rise to flowers, which are usually tubular and multipetaled. Areoles are an identifying feature of cacti. In the absence of true leaves, cacti's enlarged stems carry out photosynthesis.Ĭactus spines are produced from specialized structures called areoles, a kind of highly reduced branch. As well as defending against herbivores, spines help prevent water loss by reducing air flow close to the cactus and providing some shade. Most species of cacti have lost true leaves, retaining only spines, which are highly modified leaves. Unlike many other succulents, the stem is the only part of most cacti where this vital process takes place. For example, almost all cacti are succulents, meaning they have thickened, fleshy parts adapted to store water. Because of this, cacti show many adaptations to conserve water. Cacti are adapted to live in very dry environments, including the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on Earth. They are native to the Americas, ranging from Patagonia in the south to parts of western Canada in the north, with the exception of Rhipsalis baccifera, which is also found in Africa and Sri Lanka. Cacti occur in a wide range of shapes and sizes. The word cactus derives, through Latin, from the Ancient Greek word κάκτος ( káktos), a name originally used by Theophrastus for a spiny plant whose identity is now not certain. Many species of cactus have long, sharp spines, like this Opuntia.Ī cactus ( pl.: cacti, cactuses, or less commonly, cactus) is a member of the plant family Cactaceae ( / k æ ˈ k t eɪ s i aɪ, - s iː iː/), a family comprising about 127 genera with some 1,750 known species of the order Caryophyllales. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here’s how to record your screen on Windows 10 & 11, with the Stream app: 1.
